On safety

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the

apparatus. US

Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the player and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

If you are not going to use the player for a long time, be sure to disconnect the player from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.

On placement

Place the player in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the player.

You will enjoy accurate color reproduction and high quality images.

C HDMI/DVI input jack

Use a certified Sony HDMI cord to enjoy high quality digital picture and sound through the HDMI OUT jack.

When connecting to a Sony TV that is compatible with the CONTROL FOR HDMI function, see page 12.

When connecting to the HDMI OUT jack

Follow the steps below. Improper handling may damage the HDMI OUT jack and

the connector.

1 Carefully align the HDMI OUT jack on the back of the player and the HDMI connector by checking their shapes.

Make sure the connector is not upside down or tilted.

Connector is

Not straight

upside down

 

2 Insert the HDMI connector straight into the HDMI OUT jack.

Do not bend or apply force to the HDMI connector.

To connect to a TV with DVI input

Use an HDMI-DVI converter cord (not supplied). The DVI jack will not accept any audio signals, so you have to use another audio connection in addition to this connection (page 13). Furthermore, you

cannot connect the HDMI OUT jack to DVI jacks that are not HDCP compliant (e.g., DVI jacks on PC displays).

When connecting to a wide screen TV

Some images may not fit your TV screen. To change the picture size, see page 33.

b

Do not connect a VCR, etc., between your TV and the player. If you pass the player signals via the VCR, you may not receive a clear image on the TV screen. If your TV has only one audio/video input jack, connect the player to this jack.

If the picture appears too white when you are using A connection, set “BLACK LEVEL” in “SCREEN SETUP” to “OFF” (page 33).

Be sure to disconnect the HDMI cord when moving the player.

Do not apply too much pressure to the cabinet wall, if you place the player on the cabinet with the HDMI cord connected. It may damage the HDMI OUT jack or the HDMI cord.

When connecting or disconnecting, do not screw in or rotate the HDMI connector.
